The Xbox LIVE Marketplace is having a huge sale on EA games, many of which support some form of cooperative play. I know some of you think EA is an all-powerful, nightmarish entity that usually passes time by eating children and kicking puppies, but when the publishing juggernaut is not being evil it happens to put out some pretty cool games.

EA has released an Indie Bundle on Steam which features six titles for the low price of $21. The normal asking price for all six games would total almost $70. Best of all, five of the six include cooperative features - score!

Not to be outdone by the bevy of sales from Microsoft, the PlayStation Network has announced their "11 for 11" sale. That's right, eleven PS3 games for half the price, in honor of 2011.

For our readers old enough to remember Deathspank, this is a sequel a long time coming. I thought I was anxious for Starcraft 2--what's that? It came out when? Oh, okay. The sequel to Deathspank, which came out 68 days ago, is appropriately title Thongs of Virtue. It releases today for the PlayStation Network for $14.99 and September 22 on Xbox Live Arcade for 1200 MSP.

It’s been a long-running battle of fans based on a lot of nonsense and personal preference, but how do you choose which system to buy a game on? Content available? Support? Online connectivity? Or are you one that consults all of your friends before coming to a decision on which system to use?

Admit it, you loved Deathspank in spite of its somewhat lacking co-op. The brilliant co-op title really blew us away in terms of humor and gameplay, so we’re excited to hear about a sequel to be released next month. Yep, that was quick.
